The Hunted ( Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla ) by S.B. Alexander – Review by Carla Clemmons

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This is an amazing start to the series! I mean the cover alone drew me in. First Layla is the strong sexy fighter we all admire. Then there’s Sam, the hot and bold vampire. Fate or life throws them in each others path, it doesn’t really matter. Now this is where the story gets real good. Some of these scenes will make your mouth water. Prepare yourself for the slow delightful burning romance between these enemies to lovers. I have already pre-ordered the next two books because yes it was that good! Fore warning it ends on a cliff hanger but is oh so worth the read.

Shamrock & Clover: Field’s Apart by C.A. King – Review by Carla Clemmons

Shamrock & Clover: Fields ApartShamrock & Clover: Fields Apart by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved this quick sweet romance! I love this authors writing style and have read several of her books. I love Clovers level headedness and her love for her grandma. This isn’t your perfect romance either. Shamrocks heart isn’t necessarily in the right place and hasn’t been for a long time. There are some hard obstacles to overcome if things are going to work out for these two. There are definitely some tear jerker moments so be ready!

This story was just as interesting as the first! I definitely recommend reading them in order. It picks up where with left off and follows Harry through different times.

The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia (Dead World Book 1)The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an interesting take on a zombie apocalypse! I’m all for dystopian reads! I was not a fan of Thalia in the beginning but she does grow on you. Baron has a good heart and you just want to help him as much as possible. When they have to work together things get tense and interesting. Be prepared about halfway through the story you will want to keep reading as things really start to pick up. Definitely looking forward to book 2!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This YA paranormal read pulls you right in! First I loved all the 80’s music references! Now this isn’t your typical paranormal read. There is actually nothing typical about this book. Clowns have always been creepy to me so to read about them I definitely wanted the lights on! I love Abbey’s thought process about everything that’s happening at Pine Ridge. Also really enjoyed the side story with Peter! I look forward to reading more from this author especially when I found out there’s a first book about Abbey!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This shifter romance is unlike any I have read before! Lily just wants to go unnoticed and do her chores. Being a servant for wolf royalty is not easy and keeps you on guard. Jason is just trying to make it until he becomes the Alpha. He definitely wasn’t looking for his mate and neither was Lily. This story is very fast paced and does have some triggers. I really enjoyed the writing style and the unexpected plot twist! Looking forward to the second book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This fast paced second book will leave you wanting more! It picks up right where the first book leaves off. All Seth wants to do is save Lillian instead of waiting around a week in Edenia. Can he betray Miriam to save her though? As you dive into this story you learn more about Edenia and all the secrets it holds. I love how you get to know the characters even more and their roles in the protection of Edenia. This is a fantasy read about finding yourself and forgiveness in one of the most unique stories I’ve read. I cannot wait to read the third book! This author really knows how to leave you needing more!

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is so good! It was like having a conversation with a neighbor one evening on the porch sitting in a rocking chair. Hearing their story because they trusted you to share it with. I really enjoyed the authors easy writing style and how the story just flows. I had never heard of La Llorona until this book. The weight that is carried because of her tale and the burdens of ancestors can flow through generations. Mercy is so much stronger than she realizes and deserves all of the happiness. This book will make you want to hug Mercy and tell her its ok to let the light in. I will definitely be reading more by this author!

I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would! I was a little hesitant when I first started it but all I have to say is wow! What an amazing story! You truly don’t know someone.

This book has some secrets you won’t believe! Loved this book and really loved the story line and reading from both characters perspectives.

This author never disappoints! I have loved every book I have read so far by her! This book jumps right in and keeps pulling you in. Just when you think you have everything figured out there’s a plot twist. I related to Cate and Patti at different times throughout the book. Their lifelong friendship doesn’t fade no matter how much time has passed. They definitely compliment each other with their different personalities. When you read this book you will laugh and cry with the characters as they navigate life. This is such a great read with love, secrets and forgiveness. I highly recommend this book and I promise you won’t regret it!

This is such an awesome science fiction series! You take a deep dive into the huge MultiVerse and travel through time learning all of the secrets.

He takes everything in stride and continues to persevere. Definitely recommend this series as it just pulls you into another world!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was not expecting to get so wrapped up in Sigrids world! I don’t normally read historical murder mysteries but this one really grabbed my attention when it jumped into the story after the death of their leader. While everyone is gathered still awaiting the decision for the new leader another death occurs. As Ketil and Sigrid work to find out what happened tensions rise. As more information comes to light more questions are raised. I really enjoyed reading about Sigrid and Ketil and the way they work together. I will say this book can be read as a stand alone but I will be going back to read the others!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This sweet romance with some spice was such a great read! It has real life issues to make you relate to Brynn and Levi. And all the other characters! I love Tia and her bold personality not to mention her protective nature for Brynn. A lot can happen in ten years and that’s exactly what Levi and Bryan realize when they stumble back into each others lives. With the way things ended and all the time that has passed its hard to see a future. Fate may have other plans for these two! This is definitely a great read!

Oh to crawl into the fae world with this author! I love the way she writes their world. I have been not so patiently waiting to read this book and will continue that wait for the hopeful third book! This book picks up soon after the ending of the first. Titania has grown so much yet has more growing to do. This read will make you feel all the emotions with the characters. You will meet some new characters and say painful goodbyes to others. This is definitely a must read but I highly recommend reading the series in order!
